Hello!
I'm wondering if anyone has had better luck than I have finding the Woods family of Aldeburgh, from around 1770 - 1870.
My great-great-great-grandfather was Philip Richardson, from the Richardsons of Aldeburgh. His mother was Eliza Woods and his stepmother was Cecil Elizabeth Woods as both sisters married Norton Richardson.
We have found Cecil and Norton's grave in Aldeburgh and, in the same part of the churchyard, there is a grave for Elizabeth Woods, who we are quite certain was the mother of Eliza and Cecil. Elizabeth's husband was called John.
But we can't find birth records for any of the Woods siblings - we believe there were at least four girls, and Cecil married two of her sisters' widowers (first Starling then Richardson) so they were quite an interesting family!
Does anyone know anything about them?
Thank you in advance!
